real free energy machine was invented why isnt usa using it?

Question

when a car comes to a stop sign , it runs over a metal plate almost like a scale and the weight of the car spins a generator
the result is enough clean electric to power 4 homes
high traffic areas , could power a huge amount of homes
also faradays machine, even on you tube but usa will not give these people a patent

Answer 1

The patent process is a gig all it's own, if you don't abide by it's protocall no matter how truely original an invention, it's going to get rejected. If you do follow it, man o man, they let everybody and their brother patent all sorts of useless stuff and are perfectly willing to give you one even if it's a many fold hack of someone elses work.

If it's your patent you are venting about, follow through with it into a working model prototype and check with how to integrate the application into the system. I have several things I can patent, just not the means to mass produce it so find it pointless outside of vanity to pursue until I reach that point of being able to do so in house.

Answer 2

Look at the physics - the energy comes from a vehicle that compresses a spring some amount. In doing so, the vehicle must lift it's own weight back up when it moves on. The amount of spring deflection, which is the vertical distance that the vehicles must climb, defines the energy stolen from the vehicle- no, this is not free energy. The vehicle must lift itself back up, which costs extra gas. Okay, let's ignore the fact that such a system is stealing energy from vehicles - how much energy does that produce? Let's say an average vehicle weights 3000 pounds. One horsepower is the energy to lift 550 pounds one foot in one second. Let's say the plate deflection is limited to 3 inches to avoid excessive vehicle wear n' tear and passenger discomfort. Let's also say that the energy conversion is perfect, with no losses (an impossibility, though does give an upper limit to the power converted). If 10 cars per minute traversed this plate, power converted would be

10(#cars) x 1/4(deflection in feet) x 3000/550 /60(sec/min) =

0.227 horsepower

At 745 watts per horsepower, that's only 169 watts. The device you describe and the labor and expense to install it will cost at least $5,000, though a more realistic value might be $15,000, and there will be maintenance expenses as well. This to power less than 2 lightbulbs, which would otherwise cost $0.40 per 24 hours, assuming the electric company charges $0.10/kilowatt-hour.

Don't believe these free-energy ideas before learning basic physics and doing the math.

Answer 3

This is not a free energy machine. A car needs energy from gasoline to run and it's that energy which spins the metal plate.

Some cars have a system which harnesses energy when you brake.

Answer 4

'Free energy'........ WOW!! What a concept. But how does the car get to the stop sign? Doesn't that take energy? Where does that energy come from?

And why aren't they teaching the three laws of thermodynamics in schools anymore?

Answer 5

Sounds good but the cost to install such a mechanism at every stop sign in a city would be enormous.
